Additional information
The Education Studies minor offers students the opportunity to explore the broader role of education in society through interdisciplinary inquiry. This sequence introduces key themes in education such as equity, inclusion, learning theory, youth development, and the sociocultural dimensions of schooling and lifelong learning.
Designed for students interested in how education shapes individuals and communities, the minor encourages critical reflection on the purposes and practices of education across formal and informal settings. It provides a strong foundation in educational thinking without leading to teacher accreditation.
This minor is especially valuable for those considering careers in education policy, youth services, non-profit organisations, international development, or educational media and communication. It complements a wide range of Bachelor of Arts majors including Sociology, Psychology, History, and Philosophy.
